      What has? The article literally never explains what the fuck it’s talking about. I would assume it’s not referring to the common English definition of turning on cruise control.

            By selectively applying it only to the people you were targeting, like most racist-ass laws put on the books by white people in the US.

            See: The gun restrictions Reagan put in place while he was governor of California and POTUS.

          But given that it’s really not about a homosexual mating ritual, I guess it’s still different from just driving from A to B? Like are they blocking traffic by driving intentionally slow, swerving, not using their turn signals? I assume there would be some kind of element to it that makes other people want to see it banned?

            Yeah… it’s an easy way to harass Hispanic and Black people while selectively not enforcing it against white people.

            Those oh-so-amazing 50’s just happened to be full of racist-ass laws enacted by the racist-ass “greatest generation” after they got back from PTSDland with nothing but alcohol and spousal abuse to help them cope.

        Context, dude. No one but you interpreted that headline to mean enabling cruise control

          I could be wrong, but I think his allusion went over your head… where I’m from, cruising often means driving around looking for guys to bang.

                If you’re referring to your magnum dong, congrats. If your referring to my magnum dong, we might have different definitions of the word, ‘magnum’. Anyways, can I offer you an egg in these trying times?

                  Look, you can’t just go around scattering magnum condoms on the floor if you don’t have a magnum dong. She’ll end up disappointed and you’ll have to D.E.N.N.I.S your way out of it.

        I am American; my first language is English.

        I would never define “cruising” as “turning on cruise control”.

        “Cruising around in my beamer” does not mean that I turned on cruise control in a BMW…
